Why Bob-a-loo?
Bob-a-loo is an adventure in family health. This movement-based learning program addresses the physical and emotional health of children during their early developmental years. It incorporates mimicry of and identification with wild animals as a means to positively influence a child’s path in life. It is a great way to develop gross motor skills, build confidence, improve cognitive function, and work on social skills. For all, it is a chance to learn through movement and begin to develop an understanding of the value of physical activity. Not only does Bob-a-loo build heart strength, the program also engages children in the pure joy that comes from movement and guides them on a path toward healthier lives. The use of animals as the mediator of concepts helps eliminate competition and fear of failure, allowing children to freely challenge themselves and develop skills at their own level. Join us on September 25th. Bob-a-loo is good healthy fun for the whole family!
